Melting curve analysis to differentiate Rickettsia spp. and Rickettsia felis
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Rickettsiosis, caused by Rickettsia species, is one of the old arthropod-borne illness that commonly found in humans and animals. One of the barriers to rickettsiosis control is the intricacy and time-consuming nature of rickettsiosis laboratory diagnosis.

Rickettsia felis–associated Uneruptive Fever, Senegal
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 During November 2008-July 2009, we investigated the origin of unknown fever in Senegalese patients with a negative malaria test result, focusing on potential rickettsial infection. Using molecular tools, we found evidence for Rickettsia felis-associated illness in the initial days of infection in febrile Senegalese patients without malaria.

Evidence of exposure to Rickettsia felis in Australian patients
One Health, 2016 Rickettsia felis is an emerging zoonosis, causing flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF). Serological diagnosis is typically confounded by cross-reactivity with typhus group rickettsiae and prior to the development of specific serological methods, cases of FBSF in Australia were misdiagnosed. Patient sera tested between August 2010 and December 2013 and known

Data from: Horizontal transmission of Rickettsia felis between cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis
, 2011 Rickettsia felis is a rickettsial pathogen primarily associated with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis. Although laboratory studies have confirmed that R. felis is maintained by transstadial and transovarial transmission in C.

Rickettsia felisas Emergent Global Threat for Humans
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Rickettsia felis is an emergent pathogen belonging to transitional group rickettsiae. First described in 1990, R. felis infections have been reported to occur worldwide in fleas, mammals, and humans. Because clinical signs of the illness are similar to those of murine typhus and other febrile illnesses such as dengue, the infection in humans is likely ...

Rickettsia felisin Fleas, Southern Ethiopia, 2010
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 To the Editor: Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are obligate hematophagous insects. They are laterally flattened, holometabolous, and wingless ectoparasites. More than 2,500 species of flea, belonging to 16 families and 238 genera, have been described. A minority of these genera live in close association with humans (synanthropic), including fleas of these ...
